(NewsNation) — Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce that he’ll be on the ballot in California this November.

He secured the nomination of the American Independent Party, which is a conservative party.

However, he secretary of state’s office won’t certify candidates until late August, placing him on the ballot with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the race for the state’s 54 electoral votes — the most of any state. 

That includes Wednesday’s announcement that Kennedy would be on the ballot in four states.

He’ll appear on Utah’s ballot as an Independent. Two weeks ago, he gained access to the ballot in Michigan — a crucial battleground state —through another minor party.

He’ll also appear on Hawaii’s ballot through a newly formed political party set up for his nomination.

The campaign says it has enough signatures to reach the ballot in six other states including North Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada.

He’s also working to get on the ballot in New York.

Recently, Trump has been stepping up his attacks on Kennedy, calling him a Democratic plant and saying any votes for Kennedy would be wasted protest votes.

The DNC is paying for ads likening Kennedy to Trump because they have shared donors.

Kennedy, however, says he is a threat to both campaigns because he can beat both.

“I’m leading President Trump and President Biden in terms of favorability,” Kennedy said. “When it’s a head-to-head just me against President Biden, I beat him in a landslide. Just me against President Trump head to head, I beat him.. .and President Biden can’t beat him.”

Kennedy is eyeing another state to get on the ballot — Texas.

With 40 electoral votes, it’s the second-largest state next to California in terms of electoral votes.
